Hawkers Market

Hawkers Market Overview

If you want fresh fruit and vegetables cheaply, there's no better place than the Hawkers Market in Parklands.

Filled with fresh produce from local and international suppliers, the Hawkers Market was originally set up by the City Council at the request of the Asian community in Parklands. it's very well used by all who live in the area and beyond...

The people at the market are extremely friendly, and if you want an easy time, just accept the offer of help from one of the young men who hang around as they will gladly carry all your heavy bags of shopping for a small fee.

The beautiful colours of the produce here, makes the Hawkers Market a nice place to come, just to see a colourful, vibrant African market. Many westerners visit the market, so you can be confident that this is a safe place to wander and enjoy the feast for your eyes. For those who shy away from dirt and grime be warned though that as you enter the market you drive through what looks like a rubbish dump. Also, as with most public places in Kenya, don't flash your valuables around too much as there could be pick-pockets around.
